Maybe someone who knows a lot about working with motor controls would be willing to do a white paper or something how how to limit current. Trying to find documentation online on how to do that has been impossible for me.

It would be awesome if the Talon SRX gets a firmware update that lets it do this (current limiting). It can already do ramping.
